The Dwyer Panthers host the Park Vista Cobras on Saturday at Blum Stadium in Palm Beach Gardens. Both schools are contending playoff teams for the upcoming 2018 season.
Park Vista was to handle the Olympic Heights Lions 28-7 in a spring football game and beat Pahokee Blue Devils 12-8 last week in a preseason contest. They lost two of their better offensive players quarterback John Smith and wide receiver Atorian Perry to graduation. The Cobras look to put more emphasis on moving the football with a ground game of running backs Nick King and Joshua Jean. Quarterback Tyler Thomas got to take more snaps than expected last season and he will look at wide receivers Lucas Deininger,Mason Proch and Atlantic transfer Aydin Henningham for pass receptions.
Dwyer dropped their spring football game 21-7 at Cardinal Gibbons against the Chiefs. They had their preseason kickoff classic game stopped last week with over eight minutes left in the fourth quarter and down 5-3 to the Palm Beach Central Broncos due to a shooting on campus. The Panthers bring a new outlook on offense as they picked up transfers quarterback Gio Richardson, running back James Meeks and wide receiver Antavious Lane from Class 3A state finalist Oxbridge Academy along with wide receiver Tanner Franklin from Palm Beach Lakes. They keep the same backfield from last year as Cedric Tucker, Bobby Armes and Reggie Gadsen will share the amount of carries in the rushing attack. Richardson can connect passes to wide receivers that include Lane, Franklin, Colby Dempsey, Nic Jennings and Nick Bingo.
